A complete home environment for employees has come to be one of the accepted principles of ‘| 
modern industrial management. In England this idea has been most completely worked out. In fact, | 
it has gone further and the largest English industries are erecting complete villages, or garden com- | 
munities, as they are called. 

The several hundred Aladdin houses now standing at Birmingham, England, were ordered by 
cable February 1, 1917, shipped from Bay City before March 1, 1917, exported, erected and completed | 
under our own supervision early in June of 1917, thru special arrangement of the British Government. |

Theory has no part in this presentation of the solution of 


Industrial Housing — 


“T have but one lamp by which my feet are 
guided, and that 1s the lamp of experience.” 


~. |HE industrial housing “problem” ceases to be a 


problem to any alert manufacturer when stripped 
of the theoretics of professional “experts.” The 
urgent housing necessities of many manufacturers 
have been studied to death by these self-styled “pro- 
fessors.”’ 


The application of straight business judgment in 
the purchase of that part of the plant, which we will 
call the workman's housing department, will solve the 


“problem” in the same way as the addition of a new 
generator to the power plant. The purchasing agent calls in a manufacturer 
of generators—not a professor of electroletic something-or-other. The gener- 
ator manufacturer applies his experience to the necessity, makes a price under 
a guarantee of resu/ tS, and the trangaction is consummated. 


And there should be necking ee teorel theoretical or - psychological about 
the planning and completion of. a modern, sanitary and attractive community 
of workmen’s homes. 7k

The Personnel, Experience and Standing of 


The Aladdin Company 


HE ALADDIN COMPANY was established fifteen years ago on the 
fundamental principle that the construction of dwelling houses was 
susceptible to the same standardized manufacturing methods as steel 
building fabrication, automobile production or any other modern in- 


dustrial activity. 


Portable houses had failed to meet the demands of permanent, individual 


or industrial needs. 


The carpenter-cut-to-fit-methods of building 
houses were on a par with the blacksmith-shop- 
built automobile. 


To substitute factory machine production 
for hit-and-miss hand labor, the Aladdin Com- 
pany originated, perfected and established the 
Aladdin Readi-Cut System of Construction. This 
system resulted in securing volume, with con- 
sequent specialization of men and machinery in 
the several parts of the product, the elimination 
of waste of raw materials, the development of 
shorter, newer and better ways of construction, 
the more rapid accomplishment of the completed 
project and the centralization of responsibility 
for its success. 

At the beginning there was much resistance 
to the thought that it was possible to substitute 
machine labor for hand labor in house building. 
The passing years have completely eradicated 
this opinion. The latest triumph of the Aladdin 
System is its acceptance by the United States 
Government and the adoption of the Aladdin 
Readi-Cut specifications as standard in asking 
for bids on certain government projects. 

The Aladdin Company has applied the best 
manufacturing practices to the business of house 
building. The experimental stage was passed 


ten years ago, and accumulated experience dur- 
ing the past decade is available to the purchaser 
of this standardized product. 


The Aladdin Company holds the speed rec- 


ord for cantonment construction for the United 
States Government, and matched the low cost 
record in the same field. And this job was con- 
structed by the Readi-Cut System. 

Several hundred of the country’s largest 
corporations have purchased houses in quanti- 
ties, and one of England’s greatest munition 
plants houses its employees in Aladdin Houses. 

At the Company’s five manufacturing 
plants there are carried constantly instock, 
ready and available for immediate shipment, 
several thousand houses. 

The Company will furnish practically from 
its own stock anything from a single house, with 
its complete heating, lighting and plumbing 
equipment, to a complete citv—sewers, walks, 
pavements, lighting and water works systems, 
stores, schools, churches, hotels and dwelling 
houses. 

The executive staff is prepared to meet any 
situation arising out of housing necessities any- 
where. ‘The field staff of the Company includes 
expertenced city-planners, architects, engineers, 
construction superintendents and foremen. 

Our field staff has operated in Texas and 
most of the central western states, in Florida, 
Virginia, North Carolina, Delaware, Pennsyl- 
vania, New York, New Jersey, Quebec, Canada 
and in England. The accumulated experience 
and records of these projects are of unusual value 
and become a part of the service available to our 
chents.

Operating Plans of Aladdin Service 


HE ALADDIN COMPANY presents four plans of operation for 


completing housing projects. 
First: Furnishing complete materials Readi-Cut for houses—F. O. B. Mills at a definite 
price. 


Second: Furnishing complete materials Readi-Cut for houses at a definite price—including 
superintendence of construction. 


Third: Furnishing complete materials Readi-Cut for houses at a definite price-—including 
superintendence and full responsibility for completion of project on a basis of cost plus percentage 
for labor and erection expenses. 


Fourth: Furnishing complete materials for a city comprising homes, public service build- 
ings, such as stores, hotels, schools and churches, and the complete foundation material, heating 
plants, lighting fixtures and plumbing fixtures for each building, complete electric street and private 
lighting service and generating plant; materials for installation of sewage distribution and water supplv 
systems, curbing and sidewalk materials; tree plantings and grass seed necessary for completion 
of landscape scheme. 


Plan No. 1: This plan includes the completely manufactured house F. O. B. cars the Aladdin 
Mills at a stated price, in accordance with general specifications as shown on page 7. 

To ship the complete material in a single car for one, two or three houses, and to have it all on 
the ground at one time is a tremendous advantage. It eliminates all delay incident to purchase of the 
many items entering the construction. It insures quantity prices on every item from the joists to the 
varnish. It evades the executive time-wasting of following up slow deliveries, checking deliveries, prices 
and quantities from many different sources and it insures the quickest possible consummation of the 
entire project. Back of each shipment is our unqualified Hutson ne of sufficient material for the 
completion of each house. 

A great many of the largest corporations and the United States Government prefer to use this 
plan in the purchase of the Aladdin houses, for the houses being manufactured in our mills, they can be 
erected very rapidly, and at a great saving in time and erection cost. 

By the utilization of Plan No. 1, the purchasers secure for themselves all savings that our system 
of construction makes possible from the time of shipment to the completion of the work. 


Plan No. 2: This plan includes all of Plan No. 1, and in addition thereto we furnish competent 
foremen and superintendents at specified costs to handle the erection of the houses. 

This plan appeals to those who cannot conveniently secure someone of competent ability to 
superintend the erection for them. It places at their disposal a foreman or superintendent with expe- 
rience in the erection of Aladdin houses, and who knows at once just how to proceed in order to derive 
all of the benefits and savings in time and money that our system of construction makes possible. 


Plan No. 3: Includes Plan No. 1 and in addition thereto, we will accept the full responsibility. 


for the entire project on a basis of cost of labor, and other erection expenses, plus a small percentage. 
This means that the Aladdin houses are furnished at a definite stated price F. O. B. cars the 
Aladdin mills, and the entire transaction handled by us from there on at an actual cost plus a small 
percentage. 
This plan is used where the undertakings are of considerable size, and our customers desire to 
relieve themselves from all attention to matters of this kind. 


Plan No. 4: The prices quoted for cities and mining towns include the completely manufactured 
houses and such other materials as may be specified, F. O. B. cars our Aladdin Mills. 

We will furnish competent superintendents, engineers, and assistants at specified costs to direct 
the erection of the project, or we will accept the full responsibility for the completion of the entire project 
on a basis of cost for materials, cost of labor, and other erection expenses, plus a small percentage.

First: 


Houses 


ANY of the keenest corporation purchasing agents in the country have 
sifted the house building question to the very bottom and determined 
that Aladdin Service met the necessary requirements of: 


design and highest grade materials. 
Second: Low cost as matched against the ordinary type of local contractor-built houses. 


Third: Speed in delivery of material and fast completion of project. 


Why Other Corporations Buy Aladdin 


Quality, which in house building includes proper architectural and structural 


Exactly what Aladdin Quality means will be learned from the following general specifications: 


Although these specifications are general, individual specifications for each house are printed on same page showing illustration of the house 


Foundation.—The larger 
houses are ordinarily furnished 
to set on permanent foundations 
such as concrete, brick, or stone; 
the smaller ones are usually fur- 
nished to set on either pier or 
post foundations, which, of 
course, cost less than solid foun- 
dations. The houses will be 
supplied either way desired. 

The foundation material, of 
course, is not included with the 
houses, for this can usually be 
had in one locality at as low a 
cost as in another. Complete 
foundation plans are furnished,

securing the foundation ma- 
terial, and building the founda- 
tion.

Low Cost becomes immediately apparent to the experienced manufacturer who considers for a 
moment that every Aladdin house is machinery-produced merchandise and as such eliminates the 
necessity of 40% of the usually required skilled labor in erection. 


Speed becomes apparent with The Aladdin Company’s ability to ship from stock up to one 
thousand houses and deliver the prepared material on the job ready for assembling and nailing without 


further preparation.

AREFUL research and intensive field work covering 


the subject of modern workmen’s homes has re- | 


sulted in the preparation of plans for a new indus- 
trial housing service—Aladdin Cities. 
The ordinary housing necessity of two years 
ago, has now grown to a demand for complete 
cities. This demand, and the fact that the location of the 
new city project is generally distant from established centers 


of commerce, make it impracticable to send a hurried call to the 
different professionals, such as city planners, industrial housing 
“experts,” civil, sewage and electrical engineers, landscape archi- 
tects and others. To delay the project in a lengthy study which 
tends to hold up its completion, cannot be allowed under modern 
conditions. 

Aladdin Cities were planned, designed and prepared primarily 
for rapid completion, and yet are built upon established principles 
of health and comfort in modern civic life. The usual preliminary 


delays incident to studying the situation are eliminated by 


Aladdin Service. 


City building is a new art. Its relation to the profession of 
city planning is that the latter is merely a part of the work of 
the organization engaged in city building. The profession of 
city planning begins and ends on the draughting board. City 
building, on the contrary, is practical work of experienced en- 


gineers, contractors and builders. 


The responsibility of city building, which embraces every 
branch of constructive and engineering science, is the task for the 
larger organization with wide experience and tested efficiency. 
Significant, therefore, that this new task be initiated and fostered 
by the Aladdin organization, the largest of its kind in the building 
and manufacturing industry. 


The Aladdin organization represents every branch of construc- 
tive and engineering skill necessary to the city project. It is 
composed of building architects and landscape architects, civil 
engineers, electrical engineers, building engineers, and superin- 
tendents of construction with wide experience in handling large 
projects, heating experts, plumbing experts, home lighting en- 
gineers, and interior decorators. Their work embraces designing 
and planning of cities and home settlements, designing of build- 
ings, street and highway construction, electric generating plants, 
lighting and distribution, water filtration and distribution, sewage 
disposal systems, heating, lighting and ventilation of homes and 
public buildings, decoration of homes, both exterior and interior, 
landscape decorating, such as parks, thoroughfares and home 
grounds. 


On file in our offices are complete plans for every branch of 
the engineering work of the cities illustrated in this book. This 
is a tremendous advantage where dispatch is necessary. You 
realize, of course, that it is impossible to catalog or list a number 
of city plans providing for different groups of population, and 
have any one plan fit or prove practical for all topographies. 
Aladdin Cities are so planned that with slight modification all 
will be suitable for most communities. While contour. and topo- 
graphical maps are necessary before the engineering work can 
begin, the preliminary work, such as arranging civic groups, con- 
struction of public highways for convenience, attractiveness and 
practicability, placing of the public service buildings, such as 
stores, hotels, churches, schools, etc., the selection of homes, 
different types and sizes, is all ready and on file. 


Added to this is the advantage of having plans for the sewerage 
conveying systems, water distribution systems and electric plants 


completed and in such shape that the constructive work can be 
started in less than a week’s time. 


It is possible in a few day period after instructions are 
received to start materials on their way to destination. 


A general description of the more important details in connec- 
tion with Aladdin Cities follows. 


The City Plan 


If a town is planned so that it is a pleasant place to live in 
and carry on business, the following features must be given 
proper consideration: Avoidance of congestion of traffic, plenty 
of room for proper living and housing conditions, accessibility to 
different parts of the city, the proper location of parks, open 
spaces, and recreation and air circulation, sewage and water 
facilities, future growth. 


In the following several plans of different sized towns, care 
has been given to verify the streets, lot arrangement, grouping 
of buildings, civic center parks, playgrounds, factories, etc., so 
that they will be suitable for any condition of topography or 
other contingency that may be encountered. They, however, can 
be modified slightly without destroying the important elements 
that go to make up a well designed town plan. 


Homes 


The attractiveness of a city is no greater than the comfort 
and happiness of its home life. Attractive homes, convenient, 
sanitary and comfortable, should form the nucleus around which 
great cities are built. 


Aladdin Cities are beyond the experimental stage, in that they, 


are built with the rich experience of the thirteen years in the 
planning and designing of the Aladdin home, which has been 
highly endorsed by the American public during this period of 
time. Aladdin Readi-Cut Houses make possible the greatest des- 
patch in the erection of Aladdin Cities. 


An Aladdin Readi-Cut House, being completely manufactured 
in the mills, minimizes hand labor on the ground. 


Every house assigned to an Aladdin City has proven its 
desirability and practicability by its popularity during the thirteen 
years of Aladdin’s dealing with the American builder. 


A sufficient variety of homes are furnished in each city to 
provide for the different sized families. 


The plumbing is modern and complete, providing for full 
bathroom in each home, with kitchen and basement water service. 


Heating plants of the warm air type, each capable of properly 
heating the home, have been provided and will prove a match for 
the lowest temperature. 


Complete electric lighting fixtures are included for all homes 
in the city. 

Full concrete basement floors with foundations set on heavy 
footings are a feature of every home as priced for the city project. 


Eave troughs and conductor pipes are a part of the specifica- 
tions for each home. 


Cement sidewalks from the street sidewalk to front and rear 
entrances are also included. 


Lawn grass seed for curb park space and home yard lawns is 
furnished. Tree plantings for the curb parkway for the entire 
city are included. 


Public Service Buildings 


Not satisfied with specifying a certain number of public service 
buildings based on statistics, an investigation was made to ascer- 
tain retail merchandising conditions of the United States. It was 


eee SESE SESSSE=a 


— 


Aladdin Cities 


found that in the United States there are more than half a million 
retail stores, which means one store for every 200 population, or 
every forty families. 

The average gross profits in the retail business, such as grocer- 
ies, meats, etc., averaged 8% to 17% for the year’s volume, net 
profits from 1.13% to 7.01%. This condition is due to over- 
crowding in the field. One retailer can conveniently serve 300% 
more accounts without increasing his payroll or equipment. 
Therefore, the public service buildings in Aladdin Cities have 
been limited to a number that will accommodate each community 
with 100% service and still prove a profitable investment for the 
merchandising tenant. Proper provision was also made _ for 
growth in business so that the tenant can carry a larger stock as 


it becomes necessary. 
Churches 


Churches of attractive types are furnished for Aladdin Cities. 
They are complete with the exception of interior furnishings. 
Plumbing, heating and lighting are also included, each modern 
in type and of sufficient capacity. 


Schools 


Provision has been made in each city plan for five years’ 
normal growth in designing and specifying school buildings. 
Buildings are complete with the exception of interior furnishings, 
and materials for each school building are furnished completely 
from the footings for the foundation to the bell in the bell tower. 


Hotels 


The hotel service afforded in smaller towns is not always suit- 
able to the traveling public. The possibilities of an improvement 
in service are provided for in the hotel plans for Aladdin Cities. 
Plumbing, heating and lighting, each especially designed for 
respective buildings, are modern and of high quality. Hotel 
accommodations for Aladdin Cities of different populations are 
greater than will be found in the average city of these sizes. 


Public Works 


The public works, namely: Sewerage System, Water Dis- 
tributing System, Concrete Curbs and Gutters, and Cement Side- 
walks, which have been provided for Aladdin Cities are complete 
in every detail. 


The materials are the best of their respective kinds. 


The systems have been designed in accordance with the best 
engineering practices, the result being that each lot will have 
satisfactory service from all of the works with minimum amount 
of maintenance cost. 


The combined storm water and sanitary sewerage systems 
provide for the drainage of the rain water through a sufficient 
number of an approved type of catch basins, and also all domestic 
water. 


The sewers are to be laid at a sufficient depth to carry off 
the drainage from the basements as well as ground water which 
in some localities accumulates around the foundation walls. 


The water pipes are of ample size to furnish an abundance of 
water through fire hydrants located at each street corner and 
elsewhere as required to give complete fire protection in any part 
of the town 


Concrete curbs and gutters are laid on both sides of all streets 
and where they connect with the storm water, inlets are slightly 
depressed so that all rain water from the roadways will be speedily 
delivered therein. 


——— — <a - rr re ey Sot 


Cement sidewalk materials are included for both sides of all 
streets and also to and around all buildings. 


In the town of 3,000 population, the main business districts 
and boulevards are paved with cement. 


Electric Light Service and 
Generating Plants 


The electrical equipment has been laid out by a practical 
engineer of many years’ standing in the contracting and erection 
of municipal and small city electric light plants. An effort has 
been made here to offer a complete installation which represented 
the most approved and modern practice throughout. In short, 
the plant has been designed as— what our Engineer considers—an 
ideal installation. 


Beautiful iron boulevard lighting posts supply light for the 
streets throughout, being supplied through under-ground trans- 
mission lines, thus keeping the lines off the streets. Thoroughly 
adequate line construction contemplates all pole lines being erected 
in the rear of lots or through alleys at the back of lots. Our 
estimate includes all material involved, such as poles, wire, pole 
line hardware, insulators, etc. In addition, all accessory apparatus 
for distributing the current to the customer's house is included, 
such as meters, transformers, etc. 

In the power house are found electric generating equipment 
driven by steam power equipment or gas engine equipment, de- 
pending upon the available fuel supply, together with the acces- 
sories, such as switchboards, stacks, etce., to make up a complete 
installation. 

The whole system is designed to operate in harmony as a com- 
plete unit. 


General Plantings 


Great care was exercised in all matters pertaining to the 
effectiveness of the tree growth of town suggested, for when 
judgment is passed upon the town by the visitor or intended 
resident—the tree growth and arrangement of plantings generally 
gives the outward appearance and the inward thrift of residents. 
The buildings and street systems are important factors, of course, 
but their appearance may or may not be greatly enhanced in 
beauty and in value by the proper selection and the carefully 
planted trees, shrubs and vines. 


Capable architects representing the landscape branch of the 
Aladdin organization have included tree plantings complete for 
an elaborate scheme for each city. Lawn grass seed in sufficient 
quantities is included in specifications of each city. 

Shrubbery, which is indeed an important part of any city plan 
or study, has been omitted in Aladdin Cities. Inasmuch as a 
proper planting of shrubbery depends upon a study of conditions 
and grounds, it was advisable to leave this detail for consideration 
after the projects are started. 


Building With Dispatch 


Centralized responsibility of administration and operation, 
standardization of materials promoting a more rapid completion 
of the project, broader experience of a highly specialized organiza- 
tion, and guaranteed costs of materials are unparalleled advan- 
tages of Aladdin Service. 

Industrial housing in all its branches has been a part of the 
Aladdin organization’s work in serving over 100 of the country’s 
largest corporations. The wide experience of this organization is 
complete assurance of practical results that cannot be compared 
with the results of more or less theoretical professionals or con- 
tractors or erecting companies of insufficient responsibility to 
guarantee satisfaction. 


As outlined on page 6, The Aladdin Company will accept 
responsibility for a part of or the entire project.

McKinley City 
~ Ground Area 40 Acres 
Population, 500—Homes for 135 Workmen 


CKINLEY City expresses advanced thought in 
general plan, modern ideas in arrangement and 
forethought in its provision for future growth. 


While it portrays an ideal manufacturing city, it does not lack any of the 
necessities of the average city of its size in the United States today. Accessibility 
is a most important feature in city building. Highways in McKinley City are 
so planned as to afford utmost convenience in reaching different parts of the 
city. Alleys or service alleys, which are included in the plans, will minimize 
congestion on important highways by rapid growth. 


In the last analysis the detached house or home possesses

Each home is as convenient and comfortable as the home-owner of average means desires. Completely 
equipped bathroom with running water and sewerage connections in kitchen and basement are assur- 


ances of the utmost in sanitation for the community 
and the health of its occupants. 

Another feature in every home which will place 
the workmen’s stamp of approval on the living conditions 
of the community, is the heating system. Direct con- 
trast is evident between Mclinley City and the average 
industrial settlement where no provision is made for the 
heating of the home, this generally being left to the 
tenant. Every home in McKinley City is complete 
and includes a warm air heating system fully capable 
of heating the home to a comfortable temperature in 
the coldest climates. 

Of no less importance are the lighting arrangements. 
Electric fixtures and service will be found in every room 
of the homes in all Aladdin Cities. 


The home, when completed, will be ready for the 


tenant, as materials are furnished to completely erect 
the home from the foundation to the front door-knob, 
which include paints and stains for the finishing touches 
on the interior decorations. 

It is sufficient to say that the public works and 
electric systems were completed by practical engineers

bility, coupled with immediate deliveries assured by 
the Aladdin Company, mean an early solution of the

greatest availability of land. 


Lots. The lots are large and the arrangement 
of the streets gives the lots ideal frontage and 
relieves the monotony of long, straight avenues. 


Civic Center. Around the Civic Center are 
situated the public and semi-public buildings, 
and the circle is used for park purposes and 
formal decorations. It is located in the geo- 
graphical center of the town, and is very con- 
venient for all residents. 


Factories. The factories may be located on 
any side of the town, but the direction of the wind 
and railroad facilities control conditions for ideal 
arrangement. 


Public Works. The drainage and water sys- 
tems are ideal in this type of radial streets, giving 
the greatest accessibility to lots for the smallest 
outlay of funds. 


Housing Accommodations. A population of 
1500 is provided for in Homecraft City. The 
homes which make up the residential section of 
the city, are exceptionally attractive and will 
compare favorably, if not surpass, in design and 
construction, those found in any community of 
this size in the United States. Its bungalows of 
six to eight rooms, dwellings and cottages, trim 
in appearance and warm in construction, will 
attract workmen tenants to this industrial city. 
Besides this, there are larger homes built on more

etc. In the aggregate, homes of every type for 
every demand are included in Homecraft City to 
accommodate 1500 people. 


fully studied with reference to future maintenance. 


And a departure from the ordinary plan of 
home for the workman is here noted. Each home 
has both living and dining rooms. It is unneces- 
sary to explain here that the average family is not 
content with that type of home which combines 
living and dining rooms into one. Seemingly of 
small importance, this one feature is the me- 
chanic’s greatest objection to the ‘‘skimped-in- 
cost’’ home. 


Quantity production makes it possible to fulfill 
each requirement for health, sanitation and com- 
fort in all homes in Homecraft City. Modern 
bathroom outfits of porcelain enamel, warm air 
heating systems and electric lighting service are 
included in every home. More rapid completion 
of the most satisfactory type of industrial housing 
is a positive advantage of Aladdin Service. 


Parks and Playgrounds. Large areas have 
been reserved for parks and children’s play- 
grounds. Shade trees are provided for on the 
streets, continuing around theciviccenter. Small 
playgrounds are located at convenient places 
throughout the town. These can be used in some 


cases for children’s gardens.

Sovereign City 


Ground Area 274 Acres 
Population, 3000—Homes for 800 Workmen. 


OVEREIGN CITY, with a population of 3,000, is somewhat pretentious 
and includes all the studied relations of town-planning that anticipates 


a future growth and increased population. 


It may or may not bea 


suburban town, with the principal railroad along one side, and the factory 


district and power plants, etc., on the opposite side. 


Proper railroad location and facilities will make 


it an ideal residential section with possibilities of industrial growth. 


Streets and Lots.—The street system is so arranged to 
relieve congestion by two leading radials of calculated 
width. The remaining streets follow the lot and block 
plan, but are so modified in distance that they do not 
become monotonous. A boulevard encircles the town, 
joining the parks together, which not only will be pleas- 


ing for driving, but permits of expansion. 


The lots are quite uniform in size and are well 
arranged. A few business lots are suggested adjacent 


to the civic center. 


Civic Center.—A most pleasing civic center has been 
provided, giving ideal locations for public buildings for 
every need to the community. It is so arranged with 
an open space that it gives a quadrangle effect, which is 
pleasing when properly planted. Every section of the 
city is in direct communication with it, and the railroad 
station forms an axial point, giving quick access to the 


center of the business and residential districts. 


Housing Accommodations.—In a limited number of 
recent housing projects, the terrace type home was used 
to save ground space, as their owners express it. 


The inconsistency of this type of housing is shown 
by the extra amount of ground space that must be given 
over to parkways or boulevards of extreme width to 
provide adequate air circulation. In summing up, 
sufficient ground space cannot be saved by the terrace 
home plan to make the detached house impractical. 
Terrace homes are of the tenement type and are not as 
satisfactory to the American wage earner as a “home 
of his own.’’ Crowding cramps the workman and curbs 


his pride of his home community. 


The homes which make up the residential section of 


— 

| Sovereign City are modern in construction, distinctive 

in design, convenient and comfortable in arrangement. 
za — ——_ — — $$ —— — 

A —— =| 


Each home is an Aladdin home which has fulfilled all 
the frame building requirements of city building codes 
of the United States. 


Aladdin Homes are also widely known for their 
attractive appearance, which places an extra value on 
the finished project. Completely furnished, including 
full cement basement, warm air heating system, modern 
plumbing in bathroom and electric lights thruout, the 
housing accommodations of Sovereign City are surpassed 
nowhere. 


Factories.—The factories are shown situated across 


the railroad from the town proper. 


Drainage and Water Systems.—The drainage and 
water systems have been prepared at reasonable costs 
to give the greatest efficiency to the factories, business 
and residential districts. A system large enough to 


take care of all future needs, is provided. 


Lighting and Public Utilities —All public and semi- 
public utilities should be properly arranged so that 
reasonable effectiveness can be produced. The street 
lighting system planned for Sovereign City is the well 
known boulevard post system. Ornamental posts are 
furnished complete for the city lighting plan. 


Parks and Playgrounds.—Large areas are given over 
to parks and open places, sufficient to make the town 
most attractive for scenic effects and a prosperous 
appearance. It is the intention of using these large 
park areas for playgrounds as well, hence the omission 


of fewer smaller play areas. The park in the civic center 


can be developed most pleasingly and used constantly. 


Plantings.—Special care has been given to proper 


plantings along the boulevard by alternating tree plant- 
ings. Trees, such as elms, are used for the outside, and 


smaller trees, such as maples for inside planting.

T 


HE layout for the city of Bessemer with 300 population is most ideal | 

for a small industrial or growing miners’ community. It has great 

possibilities for future growth, and is complete in every way. | 
| 


The suggested radial thoroughfares lead to the open space in the 
center of the proposed town, but as the town grows larger, this space will still be the civic center, 
although it may not necessarily be in the center of the town. 


This design could easily be developed in a more or less hilly region.

Lots.—The residence lots are large and could easily are sure to attract thrifty workers. 


be redivided for business purposes should the demand 
appear, and rigid restriction should be enforced for that 
reason. Few business lots are suggested for immediate 
use. 


The Drainage, Water System, Lighting and other 
Public Utilities can be easily located to meet the needs 
of the population, and therefore, the different systems 
are not costly. 


Civic Center.—Although the size of the present town 
precludes the necessity of a formal civic center at 
present, future needs are here anticipated and only 
such public and semi-pub- 
lic buildings are sugges 


Public Works and Engineering 


Factories.—The factories are to be located on the 
south and east of the town, but are easily reached from 
all parts of the town.

Ample space has been provided

in the park space, as can be 
easily moved when needed. 


for the immediate and future 
needs of parks and playgrounds. 
Playgrounds have been pro- 
vided in convenient places 
away from the dangers of 
traffic. 


Materials Can Be Omitted 


If desired, we will quote prices for furnish- 
ing housing accommodations for Bessemer 
City without the other items, such as public 
works, landscaping, engineering, etc. included. 
This plan may be more desirable where engi- 
neering work on factory sites has been started. 
In this plan, a selection of homes by your 
housing managers can be substituted for the 
homes now listed for Bessemer. 


Residential Court.—To uti- 
lize all the land with the sys- 
tem of streets as designed, a 
court has been provided, which 
not only makes a_ pleasing 
housing arrangement, but 
adds interest to the town plan.

a favorite with manufacturers. 


Three Winnsboros can be shipped in a 
car. A crew of twenty men should erect 
ten of these houses per week. 

The average profit of eight coal com- 
panies was 11% on their housing invest- 
ment. It pays well. 

A result that cannot be figured in dollars 
and cents is the increased co-operation and 
loyalty from employees.

coln Gas Coal Co. and Patterson Mills Co. 
are among the number of corporations hav-

The Erie 


T is being recognized that in order to secure good workmen 
and to hold them, it is necessary to provide good houses for 
them to live in. 


If the employer has a reputation for furnishing his workmen 
with attractive and sanitary dwellings he will never lack for 
steady and efficient labor. 

The Aladdin Company has had fifteen years of experience in furnishing 
houses for all kinds of labor. The houses in this book by the process of 
elimination for over fifteen years, show only the designs that most nearly 
meet with the needs of the average American workman. 

One of the large coal corporations in Pennsylvania recently ordered a 
large number of our Erie bungalows illustrated above. They found this 
house particularly suited for the housing of their employees, and a few 
weeks later ordered another quantity. 

Three to four of these houses could be loaded complete in one car and 
shipped direct to you within a few days after the re- 
ceipt of your order. 

A crew of twenty men in one week should com- 
plete twenty or more of these houses.

‘The Crescent 


N the Crescent all the essentials of a 
house of low cost are found. ‘These 
are light, ventilation, warmth, rooms 


of ample size, simplicity and strength of construction. 


Results of investigation of eight different coal com- 
panies in Pennsylvania show a gross return of 11% on 


their total investment. 


This goes to prove that the housing of one’s 


employees is not a losing venture as many believe. 


Another result of housing employees which cannot very well be figured 
in dollars and cents is in the reduction of labor turn-over and greater 


loyalty from employees. 


The Crescent home was purchased and erected by the Vermillion 
Farms Co. to house their employees. 


The use of Aladdin houses means better houses for less money and 
therefore a larger percentage of profit on the investment. See inside 


front cover for prices.

The Canton 


HE Canton is a trim little house of 
four rooms, quickly erected, gives 
thorough protection from weather 


in coldest climates, and has met many housing situations 
under varying conditions. 


This design has been carried constantly in our catalogs 
for over ten years and 1s standard in every respect. 


A crew of 
thirty men should erect at least thirty of these houses per 
week. 


Four Cantons can be loaded to a single car. 


The Canton offers a minimum investment for a four room 
dwelling. The construction is first class, the materials ex-

unattractive.

will solve many industrial hous- 
ing projects where labor demands are modest. 

Structurally it is the equal of the average well built 
frame house. Double walls, double floors and inter- 
lining of building paper offer full protection against 
extreme weather. Studding, rafters and joists are 
all on 16-inch centers. Roomy porch will please and 
satisfy tenants, while arrangement of rooms could not 
be better for available floor space and cost. The Rodney 
No. 2 has four 10x12 ft. rooms. 

Frontage of 24 feet is ample. Three of these houses 
can be shipped toasinglecar. In this event all material 
is separately marked for each house, so no confusion 
results when unloading. 


TEE | ms A crew of twenty men should erect ten of these 
| aT houses per week. And they need not be all 
skilled laborers. One experienced carpenter to 
three or four unskilled men will work very satis- 
factorily.

‘The Hecla 


HE Hecla is a small duplex or two 


family type house. Entrance to 

both apartments are from front of house. It 
should be an inexpensive solution of your housing 
problem. It is especially fitted for housing low priced labor. 


It is of permanent construction and the materials used are of much higher 
grade than usually found in houses of this type. 


The four large rooms are well lighted and ventilated, and each room 
has plenty of wall space. 


The Hecla is an ideal house for its purpose and its low cost offers remark- 
able value. 


An order for ten up to two hundred of these houses could be delivered 
and the erection completed in a surprisingly short time. 


A number of Hecla Homes were sold to the Apex Coal Co., Cleveland 
Cliffs Iron Co., Clarksville Gas Coal Co., Diamond Coal & Coke Co., Mather 
Collieries Co., Twin City Coal Co., Warner, Youghiogheny Coal Co., 
West Virginia Pittsburg Coal Co., and many others. 

Reduced labor turn-over can be obtained by the erection of permanent 


individual houses for the married workmen of any industry. One of the 
most potent reasons why labor remains stationary, is good housing quarters

The Tremont 


HE Tremont with a frontage of sixteen feet requires a minimum size 


lot. 


Investigation of companies that housed their employees in 1916, 


shows that the largest percentage of houses built are of the five room 


type, narrow in width, and similar in floor plan to the Tremont. 


A house of this model comes well within the means 


of the common laborer. 


Employers are coming to realize that industrial 
expansion and increased production require plenty of 
efficient labor. In order to secure this labor the 
housing of employees has been found the greatest 


factor in procuring the desired results. 


Our facilities for furnishing you with quantities of 
houses within a few days after receiving the order, and 
our experience in supplying hundreds of industrial 
corporations with houses should merit careful inves- 
tigation in the many saving advantages of our Alad- 


din system.

HE most economical and satisfactory way of 
taking care of labor is to house them in frame 
buildings, built by the Aladdin readi-cut system. 


Our Welton consisting of five large rooms and inset front porch is typical of 
the class of house that is being erected everywhere for living quarters for the 
more common class of workmen.

These features are found in our

‘The Gretna 


HE results of many investiga- 
tions into the employment situation have 
shown that one of the prime causes for the 
large turn-over of industrial labor is the 
inadequate accommodations for the worker. 

The employer should house his workmen in 
modern, sanitary and attractive houses, thus as- 
suring a steady and efficient force of men. 

Good housing is one of the first means of cementing 
the relations between employer and employees. 

In designing the Gretna, the cost has been held 
down, but at the same time the exterior although 
plain is neat and attractive. 

This house requires plenty of ground, as it has 
a thirty foot frontage with a 
roomy porch across its entire 


front. 

Where the employer has plenty of 
ground available, we would recom- 
mend the selection of our Gretna. See 
prices on inside of front cover. 


The Pennsylvania Wire Glass Co. erected a 
number of Gretna homes for their workmen.

The Collier 


See pages 90-91 for group views of the Collier 


HE Collier was especially designed for 
the Government Bureau of Mines as a 
model miner’s cottage. It was erected at 
the Panama-Pacific International Expo- 
sition, for which we received the highest award. 


It has been sold in quantity lots, ranging from ten to sixty, to 
over seventy-five of the biggest mining corporations of this 
country to whom it Is giving great satisfaction. 


It embodies all the economical features desired in a house of 
low cost, and yet it does not lack the necessary comforts, which 
are at present demanded by the workingmen’s families. 


Economy in construction can only be had through standard- 
ization. This standardization of plan can be given variety by 
interesting grouping. By the grouping of a number of these 
houses and the use of different color schemes, this necessary 
variation can be had. 


We have found that this is very important as it makes the 
identical house look quite different and individually pleasing. 
Good proportions and good color schemes never need cost more 
than poor ones. 


The Jackson Mills and the Mather Collieries Co. are among 
the large Corporations having erected Collier homes for work- 
men.

‘The Leota 


HE house of the average workman 


is a place to eat in, sleep in and keep 

away from as much as possible. It is not charity, 
but business to so house your workmen that their interests 
will be healthy and in so doing, healthy bodies, proper pride 
and efficiency will result in their work. 


Our “‘Leota’’ bungalow has been especially designed for the 
average workman's family. The rooms have plenty of win- 
dows for light and ventilation. Every inch of space has been 
utilized and the materials and construction are of the best. 


An attractive exterior costs very little 
more and the results between an em- 
ployee living in an ordinary work- 
man’s home and an Aladdin housed 
employee cannot be measured in words. 


Our “‘Leota’”’ has a frontage of 20 feet, 
with 2 foot overhanging eaves, so that 
the lot for this house should have a 24 to 
30 foot frontage.

of thirty feet is an ideal

four rooms adjoining permit an abundance 
of light and ventilation. 


A group of these houses can be made very 
attractive “by “using. a Wvariation» of ecolor 
schemes, and dressing up the outside grounds. 


The Corbin is of pleasing proportions and 
taking into consideration its warmth, strength 
and durability of construction, as well as low 
cost, it will fill the needs of any employer who 
is in the market for low cost houses.

The ‘Tucson 


CREW of thirty men should erect ten of 
these houses per week. This 1s only pos- 
sible because of the Aladdin Readi-Cut 


System by which all of the material is 
manufactured in the Aladdin mills ready to be nailed in 
place when it reaches the job. 


Two of these houses can be loaded to a single car and the 
car contains everything for the completion of the job, except 
foundation and chimney. 


The Tucson has five rooms which will accommodate the 
average family. The finish material throughout is of splendid 
clear Yellow Pine or Fir. The quality tends to give tenants 
more respect for the upkeep of the house and premises. Results 
as reported to us are invariably better in this respect than when 
cheap materials are used. The house will stand 
up better under the varied uses of different families 


of as they come and go. A study of the specifica- 
se tions immediately convinces one that the con- 
eM struction is really superior to the average well 
ee built frame house.

HE full measure of results from money paid 
out for labor cannot be had unless labor is 
properly housed. A force of employees well 
housed will give the employer immunity 


from labor troubles and discontent. It is an insurance for steady 
and efficient labor. 


During our fifteen years of business, we have made a careful 
analysis of the home conditions of the working class in practically 
every state in the Union. 


As a result, our ““Thelma”’ bungalow is another type that has been 
designed for the employee with the average size family. The interior of 
this house is cheerful and the exterior pleasing. 


‘| The erection of a house of this size and 
style is extremely fast, for every piece of 
lumber has been accurately cut to fit by 
machinery. 


The economy of our construction, to- 
gether with our ability to furnish you

The Castle 


UR Castle Bungalow is well propor- 
tioned and attractive, although it is 
without many of the trimmings that 
add money to the cost of a house. 


In consideration of the floor plan you will find that all 
waste space has been eliminated, and that there is plenty of 
wall space in every room. Convenience of arrangement and 
furniture space is quite important in a small house. 


As to the materials and construction, they are of the very 
best. Fire stop construction, which is recommended by the 
Insurance Underwriters Association, is used in this house, and 
in every other Aladdin home. This construction 1s also very 
sanitary for it prevents rats, mice, etc., from going up into 
the walls of the house. 


The Castle can be placed the wide way to the street without 
changing the plans, or the narrow way to the street. It is, 
therefore, suitable for a wide or narrow lot.

187% labor turn-over was the actual 
record discovered in 1916 by one of 
Pittsburg’s bigindustries. Thislarge 
turn-over could have been eliminated 

if the housing conditions had been ade- 


quate. 


Nothing adds more to the cost of production than the 
element of floating labor. Every employer should keep a 
record of his labor turnover, and if it is too large, 
steps should be taken to 
reduce it. 


The Aladdin Company is 
ready to assist manufac- 
turers reduce high labor 
turn-overs, quickly and eco- 
nomically. 


A number of our Prince-

HIS design presents a compact two- 
story house of small size and low price. 
It is well adapted to the needs of average 
workmen, and has been selected by tex- 


tile manufacturers with great satisfaction to themselves and 
their employees. 


You will note that it includes living room, dining room, 
kitchen, hall, two bedrooms, bath and closets. 


Lots 24 feet in width are ample for this house, especially 
where frontage is unusually high. Foundation cost is low, 
as the house occupies but 20x20 feet, making just 80 feet of 
foundation wall. Of course, where necessity does not require 
solid foundation, it can be set upon posts. 


The construction of the New Eden, as can be noted 
from specifications, is sound, the material used the very 
highest grades, and the cost will be found surprisingly low. 


For prices, see attached price list. 


2S AE GGBaataane: 


The Plymouth 


HE simple, square lines of the 
Plymouth have been trans- 


formed into a charming home. 


The arrangement of rooms offers convenience and access 
from one another which is in accord with modern in- 
terior designing. 


Houses of this type are, of course, more suited to 
housing the skilled class of workmen. Because of the demand for 
skilled mechanics it is most important that they are properly housed 
in order to maintain a steady supply of efficient labor. 


Employers are coming to realize that married workmen with homes 
in which they take pride are the most desirable. Consequently it is no 
matter of surprise when large corporations are found to be giving 
attention to creating modern houses for their 
workmen and in developing special neigh- 
borhoods and groups of houses, which will 
provide a modern setting and facilities which 
are in keeping with the new habits and stan- 
dards of efficiency now-a-days demanded of 
workmen. See prices on inside of front cover.

The Stanhope 


LADDIN houses solve the problem 
of creating proper living con- 
ditions for workmen. Our Stan- 
hope Bungalow has been erected 


in quantities many different times, and 
each and every one of the purchasers of these houses 
has found that it is especially suited and fitted for their 
better class of workmen. The Hardware City Loan 
Co., Lincoln Gas Coal Co., and American Beet Sugar 
Co., and many others have erected the Stanhope to 
house employees. 


Your employees after a hard day’s work need relaxation 
and a complete change. If their houses are unpleasant, what 
is more natural than that they should seek their pleasures 
elsewhere? Your employees if housed in Aladdin homes 
would be more contented and efficient workmen. 


The housing of your employees will prove to be an actually 
good financial investment, and money expended will come 
back with interest. What is more important, however, is 
that you have the added advantages of a high grade working 
force, immune from the average labor troubles. 


_ The Stanhope is furnished in two sizes, there being a 
slight difference in the floor plan arrangement between the 
Stanhope No. 1 and No. 2.

The Venus 


HE ‘‘Venus”’ bungalow is furnished in two sizes to meet the 


popular demand for this house among those employers who 
are erecting homes for their better class of workmen. 


Both of these houses are suitable for a lot with a narrow 
frontage, the ‘‘Venus No. 1” having a frontage of eighteen ||| 
Labatt 


|e feet and the ‘‘Venus No. 2” twenty feet. Hi 


LIVING R. 


Jats The “Venus”’ is unusually attractive and because of its exterior design many varie- 


ties of color schemes can be used, which is so necessary in the erection of groups of Hi} 
houses. i) = 


A number of the Venus houses were used in the Housing plan of the Oliver Chilled | 
Plow Works. iH 


Elimination of waste and the standardization of materials are great factors in ||) 
the success of any project. All this has been accomplished in the planning and de- |)))

This saving of waste and the exact cutting to fit of the materials by high powered 


fast feed machines enable us to speci pee with complete houses at much lower prices 
than the same materials can : 
be obtained elsewhere. 


In addition to the sav- 
ing in money on the cost 
of materials a still greater 
saving is effected in the 
erection cost. 


Another important 
eee factor in the use of Aladdin 
readi-cut houses is our abil- 
ity to furnish you with 
quantities of houses upon 
short notice, and also the 
speed with which these 
houses can be erected and

The Edison 


the Edison requires a slightly higher cost 
per square foot of floor space, matched 
against the plainer houses, yet its unus- 
ual beauty brings a higher proportionate 


income to compensate. 


Many of our customers have used the Edison to dress up a row of the 
simpler types and with excellent results. The Hamilton Carhartt 
Cotton Mills and The Pomona Mills are among the many satisfied 
purchasers of this home. 


This design meets the needs of the average family. It has a thirty 
foot porch, living room, dining room, two bed rooms, closets, bath 
and kitchen. Bath can be eliminated, giving this extra space to living 
room, where conditions allow of elimi- 
nation of this feature. 


The Edison has been a constant favor- 
ite with individual purchasers, as we have 
carried it in our regular home builders 
catalog for about ten years. 


Two of these houses can be loaded in 
a single car, and a crew of twenty men 
should erect three of these houses per 
week.

ONSTANT labor troubles impair the efficiency and produc- 
tion of the industries of this country. Too much attention 
has been given to the mechanical aspect of manufacturing 


and too little to the human element. 


Better homes make 


better workmen, and the result is greater production. 


Our Maples Bungalow would just suit the average American work- 
man's needs as it is roomy, well lighted and ventilated. The American 
Beet Sugar Co. and The Diamond Crystal Salt Co. are representative 
of the corporations who have found this bungalow well. adapted for 


their needs. 


Floor Plan—The Maples in Perspective 


Your entire requirements for the hous- 
ing of your employees should be placed 
with one individual concern. This is a 
great convenience in itself, as it does 
away with the many annoyances and 
delays that are usually found when ma- 
terials are purchased from several dif- 
ferent sources. 


The personnel of the Aladdin Company 
have had experience in the manufacturing 
and construction of workingmen’s homes 
in this country and abroad, and are well 
able to handle your work at a saving of 
time and money, and in a manner that 
would be more than satisfactory to your- 
self.

‘The Dresden 


NYONE of your employees housed in our 
“Dresden” bungalow should prove more thrifty, 
and the efficiency of his work should increase, for 


in every man there exist germs of thrift that can 
be properly developed by bettering his home conditions. 


Give your workman a home that he can some time call his own, let his 
surroundings be comfortable and attractive, and there will be no more floaters. 
It has been proven that the proper housing of employees will result in their 


working more efficiently and intelligently. Westinghouse, Church, Kerr 
& Co. and Lincoln Gas Coal Co. are two of the many users of this home. 


The exterior and floor plan of the ‘‘Dresden”’ speak for themselves. The rooms are 
all of ample size, making 
crowding unnecessary. 
Each room has sufficient

These features are very 
important when consider-

necessary for healthful 
living. 

The materials and con-

The Finley 


HE Finley is an especially good type of 


industrial house. Investigation by dif- 


ferent committees on industrial housing 


agree that a house with simple, straight lines 
is the best. For the interior it has been found that a large 
living room, dining room and kitchen with three bedrooms and 
bath on the second floor are the most desirable for a work- 
man’s home. Air, ventilation and light are also very neces- 
sary and all these features are very well taken care of in the 


designing of this house. 


The proper housing of employees is a big 
factor in reducing labor turn-over. It brings 
profit to the Company and affords better 


control of the labor situation.

HE plan of the Geor- 
gia follows the usual 
square lines of most 


Aladdin houses. Yet, 

it is interestingly em- 

bellished to meet the 
more exacting tastes of higher 
class workmen, superintendents 
and office men. 

True structural economy demands the 
square type, for more floor space can be 
obtained for a given investment than 
where the house is cut up, wings added 
or other money-consuming features in- 
corporated. 

The house is suitable for larger fam- 
ilies, it having three bedrooms, with 
bath on second floor, while the arrange- 
ment on the first floor gives an unusually 
large living room. 

It is furnished with siding on the walls 
of the first story and shingles above. 
Casement windows add much to its 
appearance, while the unusual type of 
porch invariably catches the eye and 
pleases the observer. Grade cellar en- 


trance avoids the necessity of outside or 
built-on entrance to basement. 

The Georgia has been erected in large 
numbers by several New Jersey cor- 
porations and seems to be especially 
well adapted to the ideas of easterners.

The Michigan 


BRISTOL, Connecticut, manufacturer selected 
several houses of this design for his above-the- 
average workmen and has expressed himself 

as greatly pleased with the result, and many other manufacturing con- 
cerns have used a number of these houses to their entire satisfaction. 

The Michigan is extremely plain, but this simplicity is, of course, 
reflected in the low price. It1is of the wing type, thus giving an unusual 
amount of light and air. Note the excellent arrangement of bedrooms 


on the second floor. This house will accommodate the larger-than- 


usual family and meets every requirement of a thoroughly modern 
house. 


Sheathing, siding and building paper for the walls, with double floors 
upstairs and down, interlined with building paper are illustrative of 


the strength and warmth of construction. 
ini This house requires a forty foot lot, it being 


approximately 24 feet square on the founda- 


q | | 38 | 
tion, exclusive of projection of the porch.

'HE Aladdin System of 


-Readi-Cut Construction is 
as readily adaptable to any frame 
buildings as steel fabrication is 


_tocomplicated bridges, sky-scrap- 
-ers or vessels. The several sys- 
| tems are identical. Only the 
materials differ. 


To cut the material for the 
Boulevard in the Aladdin mills is 
extremely simple. Rapid, fast-feed machines, many 
of them automatic, have been designed especially for 
this work. There are over two thousand individual 
pieces of timber, lumber, finish, etc., in the Boulevard, 
all of which are fashioned by power machines instead 
of the usual hand labor of carpenters. 


The Fulton Bag & Cotton Co. and a host of other 
large corporations have purchased this design for their 
workmen. 


This house will accommodate a good sized family, 
there being three bedrooms. The floor plan arrange- 
ment is ideal for this type of house, bath being next to 
kitchen, thus saving in plumbing costs. The exterior 
is sided up to top of walls and shingled in the gables. 
This house will be much in demand wherever erected.

advantage of the most thor- 
oughly modern home. 


The Florence is one of the finest designs in the 
smaller type of homes and is exceptionally well

The Aladdin Company has been chiefly responsible for raising 
the standard of workmen’s homes. It costs practically the same 
to design and build an artistic, well proportioned house as one 
that is ugly, festooned with bric-a-brac and out of proportion. 
Likewise the difference in cost between sound lumber with clear 
interior finish that can be stained 
and varnished is well worth while 
compared with the results of cheap, 
shaky lumber and finish that must 
be painted to cover up the defects. 
Aladdin quality is uniformly of the

The Sheridan No. 2 


HE housing of superintendents and foremen has 

been found very productive, for these men must 

be looked to for results in production. The Sheri- 

dan No. 2 has proved to be an ideal foreman’s or 
superintendent's home, for it has been sold a number of 
times for this purpose. 


It has an unusually attractive exterior with its low, 
sweeping roof and scrolled eaves and the broad porch ex- 
tending across the front. 


The rooms on the interior are of very good dimensions 
with lots of wall space and light. 


Modern power driven machines can do better 
work at a lower cost than hand labor. We have 
applied this same principle to house construction 
and the result is modern, attractive and sanitary 
buildings that can be erected at a smaller cost and 
in a shorter space of time than if the same type of 
houses were built through the old-fashioned way.

RACTICALLY every industrial project 


we have handled where houses of the better type 
have been supplied has included several of this 
handsome design. Requiring an unusually narrow 
frontage for its size—a 30-foot lot will suffice—it is 
well proportioned, attractively embellished and yet withal is 
simple in outline. Half siding and half shingles for the out- 
side walls, eaves that flare a bit and with scrolled false rafters, 
the Standard never fails to please its owners and occupants. 
Four good bedrooms make this house adaptable to large 
families. Every feature of a thoroughly modern home is 
included: porch, vesti- 
bule, entrance hall, 
open stairway, grade 
cellar entrance and 
pantry. Square lines 
permit full utilization 
of every inch of floor 
space on both floors.

The Herford 


ERE is a cleanly designed, substan- 
tial and altogether good-looking 


dwelling. There is not one foot of 
surplus lumber or timber, and yet the result 
presented is pleasing and wholesome. 

The Hertford will accommodate a very large 
family, there being four bed rooms and bath 
on the second floor. And the living room and 
dining room are proportioned to the needs of a 
large family. 

Every feature of this design will be found to 
come under our plea for “modern, sanitary and 
attractive’ workmen’s homes. And every feature is 
planned at the same time to hold down the cost. 
ThesGhariero: Gas' CoaliGo.ethe Lincoln Gas. Coal Cov and the Roa- 
noke Mills Co. are among the many corporations who have found 
housing satisfaction by the use of the Herford. 

The house requires but a 20x24 foot foundation and will take but a 
25 foot lot. No expensive embellishments are to be observed. A 
broad porch with the simple belt running around the middle of the 
sidewalls relieve what might be extreme plainness. 

No lower unit cost per person can be secured than is possible in 
constructing this house. 

Price list attached gives our cost on this house.

‘The Suburban 


HE Suburban is simple in its exterior 
lines, but modern and attractive in 


appearance. No floor space has been 


wasted, and each room has plenty of light and wall space. 


In buying a workman’s home, the square lines will always 
be found more economical as better utilization of space is the result. 
The Suburban with three large rooms on the first floor and four 
bedrooms and bath on the second floor can easily accommodate 
a family of from six to eight people. 


The higher paid, better class of workmen want good homes 
with conveniences and comforts. Employers helping their em- 
ployees toward this end are protecting themselves on a constant 
supply of skilled labor. The list of satisfied users of the Suburban 
for housing of their employees includes the Oliver Chilled Plow 
Works and other large concerns. 


The industry that houses its employees will soon become so 
well advertised that it will never lack for efficient workmen.

Each Aladdin house is shipped complete, ready for im-

money in the completion of the house. 

The relation that the housing problem (2'X 84”

The Pomona 


ACTORY executives, of course, require much more 
in size, design and convenience, and the Pomona 
will meet almost any demands of this character. 


The best proof of this statement is found in the fact that 

the Pomona is built in large numbers in practically every 
state in the Union. The type is that of the ever popular California 
bungalow. Shingled walls, heavy timber work and distinctive 
window groups give distinction to the exterior. 

Two plans are shown for the interior, the one, all rooms on one 
floor and having but three bedrooms, while the other plan has two 
bedrooms on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. 
The exteriors in both cases are identical. 

This house will compare 
favorably with much more ex- 
pensive and more elaborate 
homes, and is suitable for any 
locality. It has been purchased 
by many corporations for use of 
superintendents and factory ex- 
ecutives. It is, of course, com- 
pletely manufactured Readi- 
Cut, and its cost of erection is 
extremely low as a result. One 
of these designs will fill the 
ordinary car.

HE appeal of the bungalow is almost universal. Its

Hi lover. Spreading eaves, exposed rafter ends, dormer window in roof, projecting

| This type is especially suitable for factory executives and will satisfy the 
||) most exacting tastes. It has been erected many times throughout the 
||| country for this purpose by hosts of corporations. 


HH While the floor plan shows three bedrooms, the front one can be omitted, 
— | throwing this space into the living room, giving a room size 28x12 feet. 


Standardization of parts and sub- 
stitution of machine for hand labor are 
the two basic principles of the Aladdin 
System of Construction. What these 
principles have accomplished for modern 
industry generally. have been accom- 
plished for house building by the Aladdin

shows the side walls finished in stucco, shingles or siding 
can be substituted without additional cost. 


The plan or room arrangement Is very convenient. Three 
bedrooms, bathroom, large living room, dining room and 
kitchen form an ideal home. 


French doors separate living room and dining room. 
The windows in living room on each side of the fireplace 
are of the casement type. In case fireplace is omitted, 
large sliding sash windows can be furnished instead of

‘The errant 


ETACHED houses are far superior to duplex 
when considering the question from the stand- 


point of tenants, their health, happiness and con- 
tentment. Sometimes ground costs make the use of double houses necessary, 
however. 

The Detroit requires a minimum of ground 
space and frontage for its accommodations. This 
design is one of our very biggest sellers to in- 
dividual purchasers, as well as to industrial 
customers, which is demonstrative of its popu- 
larity with tenants. Half siding and _ half 
shingles are used for exterior walls. Three bed- 
rooms make house suitable for large families. Senha tae t 
Owing to absence of embellishment, the labor  ~- — 
cost of erection is low. 


A utilization of our court plans in grouping 
your workmen’s community will add greatly to 
the value and success of the project. These 
court plans are designed by experienced land- 
scape architects and city planners, services which 
would ordinarily cost from $500 to $1,000. To 
Aladdin customers this service adds nothing to your costs.

The Marsden 


RIDE of occupancy is only second to 
pride of ownership for those who live 
in a pretty home. The Marsden is 

suitable especially for executives and plant 
superintendents. It is distinctive in design, has the 


quaint California bungalow atmosphere and makes a splen- 
did appearance always. 


You will notice that not one Aladdin house includes the 
parlor, that ancient and almost sacred institution that so 
long held sway. Instead the space formerly wasted in that 


way 1s thrown into the living room, making the latter large, 
light and airy. 


The Marsden living room is 26x16 feet, 
with exposures on three sides. Open 
stairway leads to three bedrooms and 
bath on second floor. Dining room is

The Devon 


HIS is what is sometimes called the terrace 
type of duplex, each apartment having 
both lower and upper floor. It has cer- 


tain advantages in the minds of many 
tenants—a lower floor with better approach from the street 
and easier access to cellar. 


A constantly increasing number of large corporations are 
finding complete satisfaction in the use of the Devon for the 
housing of their workmen. 


The exterior of the Devon is unusually attractive for the duplex 
type. The walls are half shingled, dormer is in front of the hip 
roof and the windows are well spaced. 


The interior contains six rooms with bath and pantry for each apart- 
ment. These rooms are of the average size and well arranged for the 
comfort and convenience of the occupants. 

A great many of this type of two-apartment house have been sold 
in New England and have never failed to give excellent satisfaction. 

The construction is sound thruout, double walls and floors, interlined 
with building paper, making the house very easy to heat in extremely 
cold weather. We can furnish heating plants for the Devon of hot 
water, steam or hot air.

Several 


of this type were erected over six years 
ago in the Lake Superior district by the M. A. Hanna Co., 
and have given excellent satisfaction, and large numbers 
of this design are erected each year by manufacturers in 
localities where street frontage is scarce. Two families are 
housed on a frontage of less than thirty feet—a great saving 


in ground investment.

for the upper floor offer convenient 
access to the tenants above.

HE Langford was designed after a careful 
| study was made as to what was the best 
kind of boarding house to use, keeping in 


mind; first, comfortable and sanitary quar- 
ters for the men; second, efficiency and economic construction and 
|| third, general utility. 


| The Hecla Coal & Coke Co., The Manhasset Mfg. Co. and the 
Patterson Mills Co. are among the many corporations who have 
aided their housing problem to their complete satisfaction by the 
use of the Langford. 
i 


In statistics kept by one large industry, employing many thou- 
sands of men, it was found that they hada labor turn-over of over 
180%. Of that 180% turn-over the greatest majority were 
single men. 


This goes to show that the main group of men who are con- 
tinually changing their jobs are the unmarried men. These men 
usually have no place to live in,—no decent place to stay. 


One of the basic reasons of labor turn-over is the inability of 
labor to find comfortable living quarters. 

Our Langford has eight bed rooms on the second floor and two 
on the first. The first floor plan in addition to the bed rooms has 
a large dining room, kitchen, pantry, washroom and living room, 
which is often used as a reading or lounging room.

Aladdin Pipeless Warm-Air Furnace 


MOST practical and efficient warm-air heating plant for the average home that costs less than a base 

burner. The principle 1s positive. Cold air is taken through three 8xro-inch registers, placed in the base 

of the jacket which goes around the 
furnace proper. The heat is forced upward 
through a large 14x20-inch register placed 
directly over the furnace. Through this regis- 
ter, the hot air passes with great force to the 
ceiling, and circulates from 
there to all rooms of which 
doors have been left open 
to be heated. The warm 
air will be so evenly dis- 
tributed that you will find 
a variation of less than 
three degrees between the 


room where the register is placed 
and the room farthest away from 
same, providing, of course, that 
doors connecting these rooms are 
left open to give a free circulation.’ 

No large warm-air pipes to de- 
stroy the usefulness of the base- 
Cubano EpIpesmOrenttinegs to. be 
installed’ Vhe register must be 
placed directly over the furnace, 
and the furnace should be placed 
as nearly as possible in the center 
of the basement. 


Furnace is furnished sor brick set 
jacket as shown in large illustration or 
for galvanized jacket as shown in small 
illustration at prices listed on inside of 
front cover. 

Heavy firepot and radiator of cast 
iron. Grates of draw center shaker type. 
Burns soft coal, coke, wood—in fact, any 
kind of fuel has given our 9,000 users 
complete satisfaction.

Canacnent Facts on the Twelve Manin NGO Wide 
Investigation on Existing Industrial Communities. 


“A Housed Labor Supply is a Controlled Labor Supply.” 


turers giving chief benefits of proper housing 
facilities are in order of their frequency (1) secures 
a better class of workmen; (2) greater stability in 
the labor supply; (3) reduction in the number of 
floaters; (4) better living conditions; (5) greater 
loyalty from employees; (6) more contented and 
(7) more efficient workmen; (8) better control 
of the labor situation (that is, hire and discharge 
with greater freedom); (9) attracts married men; 
| (10) greater regularity of employment; (11) better 
houses for less money for the workmen; (12) 
E brings profit to the company. 


Replies from three hundred and fifty manufac- 


The majority of employers exercise the chief 

governmental functions and provide public util- 

| ities where the community is not a part of an 

| existing municipality. 

| | In over half of the present industrial commu- 
nities, the company town suffers from the wrong 
kind of deliberate planning, largely because the 
housing work is incidental to the principal business 
of the employer, and does not receive consideration 
in proportion to that given the purely business 
part of the employer’s enterprise. A properly 

planned town costs but a fraction more than the 
other kind. 


Lack of attention to the advantages of vegeta- 
tion, planting of trees, grass and shrubbery has 
been characteristic of most of the existing indus- 
trial towns. 


Of the 53,000 individual dwellings coming under 
this investigation, 25,000, or 48%, are single 
dwellings, 18,000, or 35%, double dwellings, and 
the balance made up of other types of group 
buildings. 


The frame structure is the most prevalent style 
of company house, approximating 90% of all 
workmen’s houses erected. Thirty per cent of 
the 53,000 houses were of the four-room type, 
18% of the five-room type and an equal proportion 
of the six-room. 


| Of the 53,000 houses investigated, 15% were 
| equipped with bathroom, sewer or cesspool water 
| system, and gas or electric light. This feature of 
| modern convenience is increasing constantly so 
| that of the houses erected within the past twenty- 

four months, some 34% were equipped with so- 
| called “modern conveniences.” 


_ It is the policy of some 30% of the companies 
investigated to encourage gardening by their ten- 
ants. This is done by a system of prizes, or the 


distribution of hand books and the furnishing of 
seeds and shrubs by the employers. 

The largest proportion of company housing is 
done directly by the employer as a general part 
of his business. 

If an employer proposes to house one-half of 
his employees, he may expect to invest approxi- 
mately one-third of his annual payroll. If he 
proposes to house all of his employees, he will need 
to invest approximately two-thirds of his annual 
payroll. These figures are subject to variation 
for different parts of the country, but represent a 
general average. 

An average of sixty different companies replying 
to the question of gross return on housing invest- 
ments, showed a figure of better than 8%. Eight 
different coal companies report a gross of 11%. 

Seventy-one per cent of the employees of the 
cotton mills of the South are housed in company 
owned dwellings. Soft coal mine operators are 
second with 62%. 

The Monthly Review of the United States Bu- 
reau of Labor Statistics mentions among other 
things the advantages to the employer who houses 
his own employees as follows: 


‘Whether in the isolated mining community 
or the populous city center, the employer is placed 
in an advantageous position in relation to the 
housing problem. He knows the purpose which 
he wants his community to serve, and can, there- 
fore, lay it out with forethought, take advantage 
of the advice of experts, consulting town planners, 
architects and large-scale builders. He can build 
on a large scale so as to cut down costs. He 


_ knows the type of labor he will want to house, 


and can erect his house to supply the needs of 
that particular class of employees. 


“Too little attention has been given in the past 
to the layout and arrangement of the company 
town. There has been too much tendency toward 
uniformity in the type of houses and its arrange- 
ment on rectangular streets. 


“Tt is possible to standardize the entire plans of 
houses of different sizes which appear to have 
established themselves as most acceptable, thereby 
reducing costs and securing rapid construction. 


“Tt 1s possible to avoid uniformity in several 
ways, among which may be suggested careful town 
planning, judicious use of a few curving streets 
which tend to minimize the monotony of similar 
houses, and introduce variations in the exterior 
of the houses.”’
